Ah you see the old issue of it has snowed all week oop north and its made a few headlines but as soon as a car gets stuck on the A3, Gatwick is shut for more than a min and a single pristine snow flake falls in the capital its Armageddon, the four horsemen of the apocalypse have been seen skiing down Chessington high street and the world is going to end......

Now if the BBC was oop north then it would have been "Meh......"

We are southern softies! and expect everybody to know about it......

Best shot on the BBC yesterday was a house in Scotland covered with snow, 3 foot icicles from the soffits after 2 weeks of snow..... if that happened here Gordon benett sorry, brown would ask the UN for help and expect Midge Ure to pen a charity record to help out the poor people, Bob Geldolf would be making an appeal and banging his fist on the BBC Breakfast TV table shouting "give us your f*cking sledges now".

We are useless

My daughter was supposed to be flying back from Eurodisney tonight but got to CDG and flight was cancelled. Next flight out is saturday so she's being put up with meals at a hotel by easyjet and gets 30 euros every 12 hours they are stuck. As a 17 year old you can imagine how absolutely devastated she is by all this :P

Tell the press and the local Radio stations.

They love that sort of thing......

Corner shop gritting shocker.

Corner shop man sells grit to the old and frail. Local man starts protest and hand outs free salt bought from Tesco......

when asked Mr Rufus said. "He a F**king C**t. What sort of sh*t would sell F**cking grit to f**cking old People. He is a complete C**t and cockwonble......"

Under-road heating. Throughout the UK. That's what we need. We'll syphon it off Iceland. They need the money.

Cardiff residential pavements and roads are absolutely treacherous, it's fantastic. I love it, feels like I'm on a skiing holiday, except I work when I should be skiing. I'd happily take this all winter.

That picture of Britain looks like something from The Day After Tomorrow!

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
